Abstract
An approach was developed to describe conflgurational statistics of branched polymers, with recognition of the difference in monomer units caused by the difference in the number of their reacted functional groups. By this approach, configurational statistics are characterized in terms of fractions of arbitrary sequences (k-ads) of k monomer units. Each k-ad is a molecule fragment consisting of k interconnected monomer units. Unlike sequences used in the case of linear copolymers, the k-ads, introduced in this article, recognize the topology of links between fragment units. Relations are given between k-ad fractions with different values of k that can be used for processing NMR spectroscopy data. An algorithm is formulated for calculating the probabilities of arbitrary sequences using the theory of branching random processes.
